Though it might look like a model at first sight it is a photo of the real aircraft turning around in the sky of Paris during the 47th Paris Air Show. A new display routine puts the A380 in some very photogenic angels and the vortices trailing from the engine nacelles add a nice effect as well.

This gotta be the best A380 shot ever. Crisp, clear with an absolutely wonderful angle.

I have a hard time calling the 380 a beautiful plane, but it is quite photogenic, esp. in this picture. Still, can't wait to see it fly over my flat in YUL.

The absolute best A380 shot I've ever seen, look at the detail, the vortices, the lines of the aircraft. Perfect angle, five stars...excellent photo!

Simply breathtaking! You captured the whole beast, and the vortices add to the reality of this surreal photograph. At first, I thought it was a model, but after careful inspection, I discovered that it was the real deal. A truly stunning capture!
